¿Estamos poniendo realmente al paciente en el centro? - Patricia Ripoll | Ep.11.

In this episode of Without a Prescription, we speak with Patricia Ripoll, a migraine patient, speaker, professional with experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and founder of Fundación Visible (Visible Foundation). Patricia has a very clear purpose: to help raise awareness of those illnesses that, although often invisible, profoundly affect the lives of those who live with them. Based on her personal and professional experience, we discuss how Fundación Visible was born, the challenges of starting a project from scratch, and the need to create safe spaces where patients can share their reality without fear of judgment. But the conversation goes much further. We reflect on whether we are truly putting the patient at the center of the healthcare system or if, in many cases, we continue to make decisions about patients without consulting them. During the episode, we address topics such as: • What it's like to live with migraines and an invisible illness. • The origin and purpose of Fundación Visible. • The current challenges facing patient associations. • The importance of listening with a genuine desire to understand. • How to raise awareness of illness without falling into victimhood. • Creating safe spaces based on trust and respect. • The role of peer support in breaking down barriers and fostering openness. • What co-creation between patients, healthcare professionals, and industry truly means. • The need to include patients in decision-making at the same level as other experts. • The biases present in many patient committees. • Why it is important to recognize and value patients' time and experience. • How to move from patient-centricity theory to actions that generate real impact. An honest conversation about empathy, vulnerability, leadership, innovation, and how to build a more humane healthcare system by putting people where they belong: at the table where decisions are made.
